Log 004 [Video]

[You will see Robin sitting in her bedroom, glancing at the journal. It could seem like it was accidental, as if she was reading something else]

Strange how it seems both quiet and crazy these days, ne?

[Much quieter than she likes. Much quieter than she's used to]

Tell me your stories. Any stories so long as they are true. I want to know what Luceti is like. I want to know who you are. It could be fun.

Mm. Yes. That I remember. Tell me something about your past. [Since there is much about her nakama that she still doesn't know]

My past? [He knows what parts not to burden her down with, but besides that one low point in his life, Sanji's again at a loss for what to share.]

Well, I was a chef on the Baratie since I was ten - and helped Zeff build it, too. ["Helped" being a strong word, as he just gawked in awe and ran around making a nuisance of himself.] We picked up a bunch of shitty ex-pirates to work on board with us, but besides my Red Leg training and getting kicked overboard on a daily basis, I guess I had a normal childhood.

I suppose every childhood is normal to the child. [She remembered being astonished at one point to see that aunts could in fact care for their nieces. ]

I imagine you heard many fish tales there. [Pirates were always lying about something or another but some of the best stories came from that. and strange patches of truth]

Oh, I definitely did--

Say, have I ever told you about All Blue? [Sanji can't recall actually sharing his dream with Robin, now that he thinks about it. And being nakama marks her as one of the few the chef will rave to in childish excitement]

Told me? No. [Though she knows that's what you're looking for since she is nakama after all. But she still wants to hear it.]

It's a mystical sea said to hold every type of fish in the world! From North Blue, South Blue, East Blue, and West Blue - for some reason, they all gather there, making it a chef's paradise!

... So of course, it's not supposed to exist. [Said with a wry smile. It's not a criticism so much as an acknowledgement that he's truly chasing a dream here. Then, a pause, as he weighs between holding too much back or sharing more than he usually would.

Eventually he decides the latter feels the lesser crime today, so he continues] I caught a lot of shit for it as a kid. All the chefs on the Orbit thought I was being stupid.

All the best dreamers are thought stupid, until they find the things they seek, or become them, or create them. The only truly stupid ones are those that give up because of the derision of others.

The All Blue certainly sounds like a mythical place, though. [She rests her chin on her fingers] But you know, there is a sea the government keeps restricted. The place where they mine sea stone. Maybe it's there. We should sail it one day and find out, ne? [And what an adventure that would be]

You think so? [Sanji had never considered that option before. And there's something about his precious All Blue being restricted by the government that pisses him off.

But then--] Haaa, we should, Robin-chan~! And if that's the case, all the more reason to liberate it.
